Etsy
ETSY
is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 4.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, Etsy anticipates total revenues between $565 million and $590 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $576.1 million, indicating an improvement of 4.61% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
Further, the consensus mark for earnings has decreased 1.7% in the past seven days to 59 cents, suggesting a decline of 41% from the prior-year quarter’s actuals.
Etsy’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 26.1%.
Key Factors to Note
Etsy’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its core business. ETSY’s core marketplace might have driven its gross merchandise sales.
Growing sellers’ unique collection of items and personalized products in the Etsy platform are expected to have continued driving the buyer base in the underlined quarter.
Positive contributions from Depop and Elo7 acquisitions are anticipated to get reflected in the to-be-reported results.
Etsy is consistently working toward expanding its product offerings to deliver an enhanced customer experience. This is expected to have contributed well to its top-line growth in the quarter under review.
Continuous efforts to increase brand awareness are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
Increasing investments to focus on acquiring new buyers as well as retain the existing ones are anticipated to have remained tailwinds.
Further, Etsy’s go-to market strategy, recommendation features, better shipping options, conversion rate optimization, online search and checkout process optimization and expanding app usage are likely to have remained other positives.
Yet, volatile global macroeconomic conditions due to the coronavirus pandemic might have persistently affected consumer spending, which is likely to have hurt its quarterly performance.
Also, the impact of global supply chain and logistics challenges might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Additionally, intensifying competition in the e-commerce market is expected to have remained a concern for Etsy’s market position in the to-be-reported quarter.
